Right, but next time we talk about a different aspect which isn't
commented on in the handler, we'd have to add to it again, until we've
rewritten the whole function in pseudo code.

I think simply pointing to the function which decides the fate of the
machine based on the MCE severity is enough - people can then go and
stare at it, albeit with some struggle.
